Subject: [PATCH 3.16 192/370] ata: sata_mv:- Handle return value of
 devm_ioremap.

3.16.42-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arvind Yadav <arvind.yadav.cs@...il.com>

commit 064c3db9c564cc5be514ac21fb4aa26cc33db746 upstream.

Here, If devm_ioremap will fail. It will return NULL.
Then hpriv->base = NULL - 0x20000; Kernel can run into
a NULL-pointer dereference. This error check will avoid
NULL pointer dereference.
